IMPROVEMENT' IN EGG-BEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,353, dated February 6, 1872.

I, HARVEY MILLER, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Egg- Bea-ters, of which the following is a 'speciication:

Nature and Objects of Invention.

My invention relates to improvements upon the egg-beater for which Letters Patent No. 18,759 were issued to me December 1, 1857; and consists in a peculiar device for securing the wires ofthe beater to the spindle, by which cheap and systematic manufacture is eected.

Description ofthe Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view of my improved egg-beater attached to its can. Fig. 2 is aview ofthe spindle before the wirebeaters are secured to it.

General Description.

A is a common tin-cup provided with the customary handle B. In order to provide suitable connection for the bea-tingI apparatus two sockets, C C, are soldered to the cup, into which the shanks ne ofthe frame D snuglyiit. Vhen the beating apparatus is detached the cup can be used for ordinary purposes. The frame D is composed ot' plates d l and end pieces d d', secured together in the manner shown. The reciprocating-rack E is iitted between the plates d d, and the pinion F is journaled in said plates. The construction and operation ofthe rack and pinion is substantially the same as that shown in my former patent, No. 18,759. The spindle G, to which the pinion F is secured, is of the following improved construction: From the upper end projects a long extension, g, of small diameter, which is journaled in a bracket, d, provided for it. The provision of the bracket d and extension g of the spindle gives a lengthy support to the spindle, which gives durability to the beater and prevents shacklingl in use. In order to avoid (li-illin` and provide a cheap attachment for the beaterwires H, I have devised the following simple connection: The lower end of the spindle is a tapering square shank, g', notched or otherwise roughened, as shown. The wires are cut to the required length and bent at the ends and placed in a mold, which is so shaped that when soft metal is run or poured in, the square shank I will be formed. This shank in cooling rmly connects the wires H and shank g together.

Cla-tm.

The combination, in an egg-beater such as herein set forth, ot' spindle G g', beater-wires H, and soft-metal connecting-shank I, substantially as described, and for the purpose specilied.

In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand.

HARVEY MILLER.
